RCI 910TC-HC-SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the RCI 910TC keep working if the building loses power?
There is a backup mechanical switch built in, a secondary Normally Open contact, so the door can still be released when the capacitive side has no power. That NO contact is the reason this one gets specified in healthcare and other places where a dead wave plate means a door nobody can open.
2) Our wave switch keeps triggering when people walk past. Can the RCI 910TC detection range be tuned?
Yes, the 910TC has an adjustable detection zone specifically to cut nuisance activations. Dial the sensing area back where the switch sits close to a corridor path or a queue line, and open it up where you want a generous hand target. Capacitive sensing, so it reads a hand near the plate rather than motion across the room.
3) How does the RCI 910TC compare to a push plate like the Dortronics 5286 for a door release?
Different activation, same job. The 910TC is touchless, capacitive sensing with an adjustable zone and a 1 to 63 second selectable unlock time, and it mounts to a single-gang box. The Dortronics 5286 Series is a mechanical push plate exit release with "Push to Exit" text, so the user makes contact with it. Go touchless where hygiene drives the spec, healthcare and food service in particular; go with the push plate where you want a positive tactile action and no sensing to commission. If you want touchless but not capacitive, the Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch and the Locknetics WS-200 is a flush mount wave switch.
4) What should I use instead of the RCI 910TC if the actuator is outdoors and exposed to weather?
The 910TC is a commercial interior-style device that mounts to a single-gang electrical box, with no weather rating stated for it. For an exposed exterior opening, the Dortronics 5277-PZL is a weather proof heavy duty touch sensitive push button with a dual-color illuminated ring, and the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 is a heavy duty water proof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button. Both are contact devices rather than touchless, so if the specification calls for no-contact activation on an exterior door you will need to review whether the opening can accept a protected mounting for the 910TC instead.
5) What is the closest touchless wave switch to the RCI 910TC if I need a flush mount unit?
The Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches, so they cover the same hands-free activation role as the RCI 910TC touchless actuator, which uses capacitive sensing with an adjustable detection zone and mounts to a single-gang electrical box. Both are non-contact devices for automatic door openers. The 910TC adds selectable unlock timing from 1 to 63 seconds and an indicator light that changes color on activation, plus a backup normally open mechanical switch for use during power loss. If the opening already has a flush WS Series plate cut in, the WS-200 keeps that prep; if you want the timing adjustment and dual voltage 12/24 VDC operation, stay with the 910TC.
6) Is there a touch switch alternative to the RCI 910TC that also has a programmable timer?
The Locknetics TS-100 is a touch switch with a programmable timer and dual LED status indicators. That puts it in the same territory as the RCI 910TC, which offers selectable unlock times from 1 to 63 seconds and an indicator light that changes color when the device is activated. The operating difference is contact: the TS-100 is a touch switch, while the 910TC uses capacitive technology to respond to a hand gesture without physical contact, which is why it is specified where hygiene and ADA touchless activation drive the job. Both suit healthcare, education, and commercial office work; pick on whether the facility requires no-contact operation.
7) Can I use a Dortronics push plate in place of an RCI 910TC touchless actuator?
They activate the same automatic operator but in different ways. The Dortronics 5286 Series is a push plate exit release carrying Push to Exit text, and the 5287 Series is a heavy duty push button with a 1-1/2 inch wide push plate on a 3 inch wide back plate, also marked Push to Exit. Both require the user to physically press the plate. The RCI 910TC is a capacitive touchless actuator that responds to a hand gesture without contact and is offered with a waving hand or a wheelchair symbol. If the drawing calls for touchless ADA activation, a push plate does not satisfy it; if the door simply needs an egress release, the Dortronics plates do.
8) Is a Cal-Royal 8633-SW microwave switch the same thing as an RCI 910TC?
Both are no-touch activation devices, but they sense differently. The Cal-Royal 8633-SW of the 8600 Series is a microwave cell switch supplied with single and double gang black faceplates. The RCI 910TC uses capacitive technology with an adjustable detection zone specifically to limit unwanted activations, and mounts to a single-gang electrical box. Microwave sensing reacts to motion in its field, so it is the usual pick where an approaching person should trigger the operator; the capacitive 910TC responds to a deliberate hand at the plate. In a busy corridor where passers-by would cycle the door, that distinction decides the choice.
9) Will a Schlage 7764 or 7766 work as an actuator for an automatic door operator?
No. The Schlage Electronics 7764 is a magnetic door position switch in a concealed flush mount, single pole double throw, and the 7766 is the surface mount version of the same single pole double throw magnetic door position switch. A door position switch reports whether the door is open or closed to the access control system; it does not initiate anything. The RCI 910TC is the actuator that a user triggers to run the operator, using capacitive touchless sensing with selectable unlock times from 1 to 63 seconds. A complete opening often carries both, but one does not replace the other.
10) How long does the RCI 910TC hold the door unlocked after someone waves at it?
Unlock time is selectable from 1 to 63 seconds on the unit itself. Short settings suit a mag-locked door where you just want a pass-through; longer settings suit a slow swing operator or an accessible entry where someone needs time to clear the opening. You set it during commissioning, not at the factory, so one part number covers every door on the job.
11) What icon and finish choices do I have on the RCI 910TC actuator?
Four combinations. Two faceplate graphics, the waving hand and the wheelchair (ISA) symbol, each in 693 Black or 630 Satin Stainless Steel. Pick the wheelchair icon for a designated accessible entrance and the waving hand where you just want a hands-free push-to-open. 630 satin stainless matches most commercial lever and exit device trim; 693 black is the one to use against dark storefront framing.
12) Is the RCI 910TC an ADA compliant door activation switch?
The 910TC meets ADA compliance requirements for accessible door activation, and it is offered with the wheelchair symbol faceplate for openings designated as accessible entrances. Touchless activation removes the operating force question entirely, since there is nothing to push.
13) Can I use the RCI 910TC to release a maglock, or does it only drive an automatic operator?
Both, within reason. It is built for automatic door openers, and the selectable 1 to 63 second unlock time plus the dry backup NO contact are what let it serve as a release for an electrified lock or maglock as well. Match the switch output to what your lock power supply or controller expects before you terminate.
14) I need request to exit signalling from the lock itself, not a wall switch. What do I order?
That is a different device entirely. The Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable request to exit switch kit for CL180 Series cylindrical locks, wired SPDT, and it lives inside the lock so that turning the lever generates the exit signal. The RCI 910TC is a wall-mounted capacitive touchless actuator on a single-gang electrical box that a user waves at to run an automatic operator. If the requirement is a signal whenever someone leaves through the lock, the REXKIT-CL is the answer; if it is accessible touchless activation, the 910TC is.
15) For a staff-only release at a reception desk, is the RCI 910TC the right device or is there something better?
The 910TC is a public-facing actuator: any hand presented in its detection zone activates it, which is what makes it suitable for healthcare, education, and multi-tenant residential entrances. For a release meant only for staff, the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with an SPDT switch, mounted out of sight under a counter, and the Detex CS-400 Series electronic keyswitches with LED indicators require a key to operate. Many jobs use both: a keyswitch or desk release for controlled entry and a 910TC touchless actuator at the accessible door.
16) What is the difference between the RCI 910TC and the Norton Rixson 503 and 504 vestibule switches?
The Norton Rixson 503 is an SPDT momentary push switch rated 15 amps for vestibule duty, and the 504 is a dual SPDT momentary vestibule switch with a stainless steel face plate. Both are pressed by hand and are wired as momentary contacts, so the timing is handled by whatever they feed. The RCI 910TC is a capacitive touchless actuator running on 12/24 VDC with unlock timing selectable from 1 to 63 seconds set at the device itself, plus a backup normally open mechanical switch. In a vestibule with an interior and exterior door pair, the 504 gives you two circuits from one plate; the 910TC gives you no-contact activation with on-board timing.
17) I have satin stainless trim throughout the building. Which touchless or push actuators come in stainless?
The RCI 910TC is offered in 630 satin stainless steel and in 693 black, in both the waving hand and wheelchair designs, so the finish holds across whichever symbol the opening calls for. Among comparable devices, the Norton Rixson 504 dual SPDT vestibule switch carries a stainless steel face plate, and the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 uses a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button. The Cal-Royal 8633-SW microwave cell switch is supplied with black faceplates in single and double gang. For a building standardizing on satin stainless, the 910TC in 630 keeps the touchless openings matched to the rest of the trim.
18) Does the RCI 910TC tell you when it has been activated?
There is an indicator light that changes color on activation, so a user standing at the door gets confirmation the signal went out and a technician can tell at a glance whether the fault is the switch or the operator. If you want a two-state status display rather than an activation flash, the Locknetics TS-100 is a dual LED status indicator touch switch with a programmable timer.
